Abstract

A method is provided for controlling a short-term increase in power in a steam turbine including a fossil-fired steam generator having a flow path through which a flow medium flows. The method involves tapping off the flow medium from the flow path in a pressure stage and injecting it into the flow path on the flow-medium side upstream of a super heater heating surface of the respective pressure stage. A first characteristic value is used as a controlled variable for the amount of injected flow medium. The first characteristic value is characteristic of the deviation between the outlet temperature of a final super heater heating surface of the respective pressure stage on the flow medium side and a predetermined nominal temperature value. The nominal temperature value is reduced and, for the duration of the reduction in the nominal temperature value, the characteristic value is temporarily increased over-proportionately to the deviation.

Claims (7)

1. A method for controlling a short-term increase in power in a steam turbine comprising a fossil-fired steam generator arranged upstream having a plurality of economizer, evaporator and super heater heating surfaces, which form a flow path and through which a flow medium flows, the method comprising:

tapping off the flow medium from the flow path in a pressure stage and injecting it into the flow path on the flow-medium side upstream of a super heater heating surface of the respective pressure stage, wherein a first characteristic value is used as a controlled variable for the amount of injected flow medium, the first characteristic value being characteristic of the deviation between the outlet temperature of the final super heater heating surface of the respective pressure stage on the flow medium side and a predetermined nominal temperature value,

wherein, in order to achieve a short-term increase in power of the steam turbine, the nominal temperature value is reduced and, for the duration of the reduction in the nominal temperature value, the characteristic value is temporarily increased over-proportionately to the deviation.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, in addition, the temperature directly downstream from the point of injection of the flow medium is used as a controlled variable for the amount of injected flow medium.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first characteristic value is made up of the sum of the deviation and a second characteristic value that is characteristic of the change over time in the nominal temperature value.

4. The method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the second characteristic value is essentially the change over time in the nominal temperature value multiplied by an amplification factor.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a parameter for one of the characteristic values is determined in a plant-specific manner.
